Stories, beliefs and images recur across different times and cultures – changing as they are retold.
‘Myths and Echoes’ looks at the archetypal ideas and narratives that shape our cultures and at how they continue to resonate in the present. Myths and legends function as shared references, but they also create identities, offer meaning, explain the world or legitimise power. They combine history with magic and imagination and form our view of the universe. Echoes opens up questions of how stories, symbols and concepts return, shift and acquire new meanings in different contexts.
The theme provides a framework for SUPERMARKET 2027 and its public and editorial programmes. Exhibitors are welcome to respond to the theme in their proposals, but are not required to do so.
SUPERMARKET – Stockholm Independent Art Fair takes place on 25–25 April 2027 in Stockholm. Alongside the exhibition, visitors can also enjoy a selection of performance art, and artist talks at Supermarket.
